Several units are deployed on site, helicopters, firefighters and members of special units. Nearby streets were closed.
Shortly before 6 p.m., the police were called for an incident in the neighborhood, the police spokesperson confirmed to our colleagues in Bruzz. Residents who cannot reach their homes have taken refuge at the “Meeting Point”, the action of the police might still last a few hours.
After the stabbing in the Buxelles-Schuman station, this is the second time in less than ten days that the European district has been shaken by an attack.
